Loss of strength refers to a reduction in one's ability to exert force with their muscles. This can occur due to various factors like aging, injuries, and medical conditions affecting the nerves, muscles, bones, or joints.
Some common causes of loss of strength are:
- Aging - As we grow older, there is a natural decline in muscle mass and quality known as sarcopenia. This leads to reduced strength.
- Disuse atrophy - Not using the muscles enough can cause them to waste away and lose strength over time. This can occur due to bed rest, casts, braces or low activity levels.
- Arthritis - Inflammation in the joints from arthritis can make movement difficult and limit one's capacity to build strength.
- Chronic diseases - Illnesses like cancer, kidney disease, lung disease, etc. can result in fatigue, muscle wasting and loss of strength.
- Nerve damage - Neuropathies affecting the nerves can diminish signals to the muscles making them weaker. Common causes are diabetes, chemotherapy, autoimmune diseases.
Loss of strength often manifests as difficulty performing daily tasks like climbing stairs, carrying groceries, getting up from chairs, etc.
